Chuck Johnson, Race Detective!"...Volume I in the ongoing adventures of Chuck Johnson, Race Detective, as he and his Blog Queen Sharmuta battle evil creationists, fascists, racists, and other vile blogosphere menaces"

Sad, really; it hurts to think that this is the same guy who helped bring down Dan Rather.

*sigh* I stopped going there after he insisted on a respectful thread for Ted Kennedy's death (my response: 'No.') and his appalling interpretation of the mess in Honduras (my remark: 'If the Honduran equivalent of the FBI had booted their president, rather than the military, would you call it a 'police coup'?')

His raging anti-religious posts didn't help either. Think James Randi, but with only half the brains.

Their gross misunderstanding of those they oppose will not serve them well when it matters. I'm torn between trying to educate them on the grounds that their ignorance will lead to things everyone will regret, and attempting to further their ignorance for tactical advantage on the grounds that it is too late to prevent things everyone will regret.

Too bad. The potential was there, but now gone. I'd never even heard of LGF until this year, but from what comments I've read, it used to be a good site. Now it seems to have decended into leftist madness. This is why "Three-pers" and "Oath Keepers" will only represent approximately 3% of the overall US population, instead of more.

Wow, it's been 5 years since I hit the LGF site, what a downhill slope they've been on ! Conservative / Right back then, but now the regieme mentality has them. [Just a guess here: I think the Bush Fiasco really messed up a lot of folks heads. By that I mean, especially for many who lacked a firm Truth foundation, the presenting of a Globalist Socialist tool, in quai 'Conservative Christian' clothing, mis-calibrated their worldview meter.] Guys like this will sink further into gov't dependency, sad to say.

Great blog btw, just discovered you of late, love the 3 per motiff....

The Bush fiasco may have soured some people on Repubs, alleged conservatives, and big gummint. The proper answer, however, is not to switch from someone urinating on the Constitution and ally with someone trying to set it on fire.

LGF has turned into an echo chamber. It's sad - contributors to the site did a lot of great work in the past, and IIRC, were instrumental in revealing MSM lies, most notably a ficticious story about Israel blowing up an Arab ambulance with precision munitions (the photos LGF published proved it to have been the victim of a fire axe and nothing else).

Did you know that oath-keepers were the ones who promised civil war if Dear Reader didn't leave the country by 10/15? According to the comments there it's absolutely true!

Did you know that your "I still get to vote" tag is a promise to assassinate anyone you don't like who wins a free and fair election? Sure - *I* can read the "when democracy becomes tyranny" bit, but apparently that's just some voice in my head - because according to them it's just a threat from you...

Snaggle summed it up - they ARE about as smart as they (possibly) can be... God help us...

"The Bush fiasco may have soured some people on Repubs, alleged conservatives, and big gummint. The proper answer, however, is not to switch from someone urinating on the Constitution and ally with someone trying to set it on fire."

And leads me to wonder: "Just why are these folks intentionally ignoring the facts while the facts are right in front of them, and continue to smoke the collectivist opium".

The way they were talking about the Threepers was absolutely sickening. But I pity them at the same time, because they are so f*cking immersed in their canned entertainment and materialism that they have no idea what reality is. They are not even slightly prepared to handle a situation such as a blackout from a solar storm or civil disturbance. If they were to get lost in the wilderness on a hiking trip, they would not even have the basic skills to make a fire or catch fish. And worse of all, they refuse to learn these essential skills and continue to immerse themselves in worthless crap. Hollywood and MTV must be so proud of these fools.

The wod on the street is that Johnson's conversion came about when someone at the Daily Kos told him that if he really wanted a chance to meet Barney Frank 'up close and personal', he needed to ditch the right wing stuff,

Since then, he has been spotted shopping for pale lipsticks and Che t-shirts,

Lets see,First there are the Nuremburg trials that set the precedent that ‘just following orders’ is no defense of illegal action and soldiers are now taught that it is their responsibility to determine if orders are legal and to refuse to follow illegal orders.

Add in the military and law enforcement used to illegally disarm law abiding US citizens in New Orleans after Katrina (have you seen the film of the commander of the Oklahoma national guard unit questioning the legality of the orders?)

Toss in some historical uses of US soldiers for strike breaking and other internal political actions (don’t believe me, look it up).

And you act surprised when some of them start saying ‘homie don’t play that’??

This started *before* the Obama administration.

And, despite what people are saying, the oath keepers are talking about they WON’T do, not what they will do.

i too read a lot of the comments. I too am amazed at just how far apart worldviews can be... We are supposedly citizens of the same Nation. I understand that there will always be those who are under-informed, or mis-informed, or even liars who will deny what they are informed about, but:

Those people are deliberately burying their heads in the sand if they truly believe that hogwash they write. They deliberately read passages and then ignore the first half of a statement to change the meaning (context, look it up libtard!)

My favorite comments are the ones that say miitia training (especially firearms training) is irrelevant because "there will never be a war." Wow, where were these erudite minds in 1860?

Just finished kicking through the three-hundred plus piles of steaming gibberish in the comments at LGF.

I may have missed one, but as far as I could tell none of the commenters offered any criticism of any of the Oathkeepers "Ten Orders...". I guess consciously and publicly arguing _in favor_ of, for example, putting their fellow citizens in concentration camps would have been a bit much even for the benighted denizens of LGF.

I also noticed that most of the comments were unsubstantiated attacks on the motives, ethics, morals, and sanity of anyone poltically to the right of Che Guevara.

Finally, I didn't see much that I would even dignify with the term "argument." Comments that were not ad hominem attacks were mostly unsubstantiated assertions, non sequiturs, and lame attempts at humor.

This is not the first time I've seen this sort of thing. In fact I expected it. Recently I amazed an acquaintance who had a letter published in our local daily with my "eerily" accurate predictions about the content of the comments he'd receive, which mirrored those at LGF--ad hominem attacks, baseless assertions, non sequiturs, and sophomoric jokes.

So...the evidence is that many, if not most, of our philosophical and ideological opponents are intellectually impotent ignoramuses whose mental processes are as predictable as they are infantile. Their only real power is that of a mob.

I got tired of the Bushies' "love it or leave it" talk of the last 8 years BUT... if Charles Johnson and his toadies at LGF, and the person who wrote the linked story can read the Oath Keepers' "Ten Orders We Will NOT Obey", think it's "alarming" and "creepy" that American military and LE personnel would balk at orders to blockade an American city, or force Americans into detention camps, then I think they SHOULD move to some foreign dictatorship like North Korea. We'd all be happier.

The first signs of trouble were inJuly of 2005. He was not thrilledhaving his threads entertain thelfgers who met in Texas. He wasabsolutley 'cool'. It grew fromthere. A long time coming.On a personal level Charles has never done anything but take a ride of others efforts. A resource hog.

Wow, 2 posts in 1 day from me. All i have to say is what a merry band of qweef sniffers over there , and they are outraged that WE defaced THEIR flag, i take it they mean the retired betsy ross turned Nyberg flag, well now they know how the brits felt when we took the union jack and put it on stars and stripes,and if any of the qweef eaters , especially the head qweef reads this , im none politically affiliated , but i am both a 3%er and an oathkeeper. oh and head qweef? your yellow stripes showing.what a bunch of maroons , i sure am glad imn niot assosiated with their ilk, statist ashamed to admit it hiding under the gop wing

You can promote the Oath Keepers at some other website, because you're not welcome at LGF.

Ahh, and the love of freedom of speech they have. So charming. You can always say whatever you want, so long as it's the party line. Free think Est VERBOTEN!!!! BRING OUT THE LASER!!!

The toilet sound was so loud when I started reading comments that I couldn't get past the first 2, so I skipped to the end.

None of them can tell from the gear that the Soldier is from one of the more Special groups of people, who are considered adult enough that if they want to wear that stuff over there, nobody is going to tell them different. Also, you'd have to have been there, but the bare minimum background is enough for me to be sure he really is over there.

Not having read LGF for a few years, I was only familiar with the website for its involvement in the Dan Rather fiasco, as well as some articles on dangerous aspects of Islamic culture and some articles on immigration. (LGF is filed under "conservative" in my Google Reader.) Imagine my surprise to see the comments on this article. I thought the author of LGF had been abducted and the comment section had been taken over by Daily Kossians.

I did a bit of reading and cured myself of the ignorance about Johnson's political positions. (The guy was actually smart enough to see though the AGW fraud, before he became an avid proponent of it, for example.)

As I read their comments, I was quite irritated at how they distorted and downright lied about the Oath Keepers, et al.. I kept scanning down, expecting to find sane, honest people arriving to set things straight. But of course, LGF has become a highly-controlled forum for sycophants, so truth and rationality are filtered out. (It reminded me of the sad episodes of Kim DuToit behaving so childishly in response to people who reacted in disgust at his advocacy of slavery, i.e., conscription.)

Well, it's their property and their right to turn their places into mockeries.

As for the remark about pissing on the constitution, I'd just direct readers to one of Billy Beck's favorite quotes: "Thus perish all compromise with tyranny!" (William Lloyd Garrison, setting fire to the constitution on Framingham Green, Massachusetts, July 4, 1854)

I can definitely recognize that most Oath Keepers and others who engage in political demonstrations like tea parties seem to have far more respect for individual rights than the typical collectivists in either of the Coke or Pepsi parties. But I wish they could see that the constitution (which provided for the owning of human beings for goodness sake) is not a valid foundation for freedom. Just as the citizens of Winston County had the right to secede from the CSA, so do individual human beings have the right to deny others the authority to rule over them, regardless of how well-crafted the excuses are.

Wow - someone liked my comment! Gratifying. However, let me just respond to Elliott by emphasizing that the US Constitution is the high mark of all political philosophy, and although necessarily containing some compromise and accommodation, nonetheless constitutes (get it?) a master plan for freedom, enlightenment, ordered liberty, and was designed by geniuses.

As far as permitting the owning of persons, let me suggest to you that this document, through the 3/5 clause, convinced recalcitrant southerners that they "got what they wanted" while at the same time reducing their strength in Congress, thus enabling the end of slavery within 100 years - a scourge that had been present in human history for 4,000 years.

I used to read LGF, but stopped about three years ago. I was a neocon although I thought I was being a good patriot by unconditionally supporting Israel and Bush's war on Iraq, but I have opened my eyes since then and realized a few things, some from my own experiences, and some from reading Pat Buchanan, such as the facts that the neocons exist only to perpetuate Israel and the American war industry, but are generally no less liberal than the liberals on social and fiscal matters.I've noticed a lot lately that a lot of so-called Conservatives have been turning against real Conservatives, because we pose a threat to all forms of anti-freedom liberalism, and people like Charles Johnson are forced to expose themselves for the warmongering imperialist progressives that they are.

What Does It Mean To Be A "Three Percenter"?

These four principles -- moral strength, physical readiness, no first use of force and no targeting of innocents -- are the hallmarks of the Three Percent ideal. Anyone who cannot accept them as a self-imposed discipline in the fight to restore the Founders' Republic should find something else to do and cease calling themselves a "Three Percenter."

No, I'm NOT Charlie. I am ARMED.

Advice on child rearing from my son.

Everyone should grow up with simulated equipment from a heavy weapons platoon. It gives you a more well rounded education and an appreciation for the finer things in life. -- Sergeant Matthew Vanderboegh, United States Army.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

On the efficacy of passive resistance in the face of the collectivist beast. . .

Had the Japanese got as far as India, Gandhi's theories of "passive resistance" would have floated down the Ganges River with his bayoneted, beheaded carcass. -- Mike Vanderboegh.

In the future . . .

When the histories are written, “National Rifle Association” will be cross-referenced with “Judenrat.” -- Mike Vanderboegh to Sebastian at "Snowflakes in Hell"

"Smash the bloody mirror."

If you find yourself through the looking glass, where the verities of the world you knew and loved no longer apply, there is only one thing to do. Knock the Red Queen on her ass, turn around, and smash the bloody mirror. -- Mike Vanderboegh

From Kurt Hoffman over at Armed and Safe.

"I believe that being despised by the despicable is as good as being admired by the admirable."

From long experience myself, I can only say, "You betcha."

"Only cowards dare cringe."

The fears of man are many. He fears the shadow of death and the closed doors of the future. He is afraid for his friends and for his sons and of the specter of tomorrow. All his life's journey he walks in the lonely corridors of his controlled fears, if he is a man. For only fools will strut, and only cowards dare cringe. -- James Warner Bellah, "Spanish Man's Grave" in Reveille, Curtis Publishing, 1947.

"We fight an enemy that never sleeps."

"As our enemies work bit by bit to deconstruct, we must work bit by bit to REconstruct. Be mindful where we should be. Set goals. We fight an enemy that never sleeps. We must learn to sleep less." -- Mike H. at What McAuliffe Said

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
